Default Another Firefox question?
Every so often when I have firefox open, another firefox page opens on its own with an advertisement, how can I stop this? I have PCGuard running with pop up blocker activated but doesn't seem to help.

Hmm - this might be spyware or, more commonly, simply a website with aggressive advertising that's beating the filter.

Try installing Adblock Plus:

Well you may want to run Spybot Search And Destory it is a adware and spyware remover.

You can get it from here: The home of Spybot-S&D!

I think it has to do with how you made a home page. May I ask, does this happen when you start firefox, or some other time.

If it's the first, you had another tab open when you made your home page.
